"Common Drugs Linked to Potential Hair Loss"

Many medications can cause hair loss as a side effect, either by halting hair growth or causing hair to shed prematurely. Common culprits include retinoids, antifungals, mood stabilizers, blood thinners, cholesterol-lowering drugs, antithyroid medications, hormonal medications, antihypertensives, and chemotherapy. While hair loss from medication is often reversible after stopping or reducing the drug, some cases may require alternative treatments like Rogaine (minoxidil) or Latisse (bimatoprost). Patients experiencing medication-induced hair loss should consult their healthcare provider for guidance and potential treatment options.
